Here’s a (free) bonus preset to get you started. This one comes from LA-based producer/composer/mixer Nick Sylvester, who is a founding partner of the artist-development agency Godmode that has bolstered the careers of artists like Channel Tres, JPEGMAFIA, Yaeji, and loveleo:
“I love the feel of short, punchy minimal techno style drums. There’s a lot of impact but the tail of the transient doesn’t drag on and there’s none of the cheesy Ibiza CD box-set top-end. FilterFreak is wonderful for getting me to this effect quickly: an envelope follower modulates the filter cutoff and the amplitude, with a bit of crunch from driving the program material in Op Amp mode. The mix knob is super helpful if you don’t want to go full Perlon nostalgic but still want the feel of it all.”
